Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 43 of the 50 other link building tools we grade
Linkody is a web-based backlink monitoring tool. It rechecks the links pointing to your sites every day, emails you when one is lost, changes status or points at a broken page, and finds new links to you and to the competitors you add. Plans are priced by the number of sites and monitored links, and agencies get team roles and white-label reports.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Linkody, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Add your site and it finds the links, but you'll also add competitors and set up alerts and reports, and each competitor takes a site slot.
- 1
Best for daily backlink checks and alerts
Competitors you track use up the site slots, only Pro and up let a second person in, and CSV and PDF exports are off during the trial.
- 2
Paid plans start at $11.20 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $11.20 per month for 500 links, billed annually ($14.90 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
30-day free trial, no credit card required; CSV and PDF exports are off during the trial
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Daily backlink checks
Every monitored link is rechecked every 24 hours for status, follow or nofollow, meta robots and HTTP status, and pages it points to are checked for 404s.
- 6
Email alerts and reports
Daily or weekly emails about lost, changed and newly discovered links, for your sites and for competitors you track.
- 7
Link Intersect
Lists pages that link to several of your competitors but not to you, along with the competitors' most linked pages.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 43 of 50
That is against the other link building tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Linkody you would be making an index of the links between billions of web pages. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for daily backlink checks and alerts
Linkody rechecks your backlinks every 24 hours and emails you when one is lost, changes or points at a dead page, from $11.20 a month on yearly billing. Competitors you track use up the site slots, only Pro and up let a second person in, and CSV and PDF exports are off during the trial.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Webmaster is $11.20 a month billed yearly ($14.90 monthly) for 500 links on 2 sites. That's under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter, and yearly billing includes 3 months free. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 30-day trial with no card. CSV and PDF exports are switched off until you pay. |
| Features | C | Daily checks on every link, alerts for lost and changed links, Link Intersect for links your rivals have, metrics from Ahrefs, Moz and Majestic, and a disavow tool. It does monitoring fully, but that's a smaller job. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Add your site and it finds the links, but you'll also add competitors and set up alerts and reports, and each competitor takes a site slot. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It pulls link metrics from Ahrefs, Moz and Majestic and has an API. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Linkody is for
- Fits if you've paid for links and want an email the day one goes missing
- Works for agencies sending clients a monthly report of new and lost links
Who it is not for
- Tight if you track competitors, as each one uses one of your plan's site slots, from 2 on Webmaster
- Not for you if a team needs logins on a small plan, as Webmaster and Advanced have one user
- Skip it if you need links checked more often than once every 24 hours
- Watch out: CSV and PDF exports are off during the trial, and the free plan you drop to after cancelling has no published limits
Good to know
Good for
- Link builders checking that paid or earned links stay live
- Agencies reporting new and lost links to clients each month
- Small sites that want link alerts without paying for a full SEO suite
Worth knowing
- The website quota covers your own sites and every competitor you track; each competitor uses one slot.
- Links are rechecked once every 24 hours rather than continuously.
- Webmaster and Advanced have a single user; Pro, at $49.90 a month, is the first plan with more than one.
- After cancelling, the account drops to a free plan whose limits the pricing page does not give; Linkody keeps your links.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Linkody you would be making an index of the links between billions of web pages. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 43 of the 50 other link building tools we grade. It costs $134.40 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- It plugs into other products, Ahrefs, Moz and Majestic among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Linkody’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
